What You'll See
My shift of late has been from realism and representational work to contemporary landscapes. This is a broad and interesting area to explore. Today, I am focusing on abstract and impressionistic landscapes. My compositions range from California landscapes to industrial hard edged abstracts to crop fields. I am also creating a body of work revolving around floral landscapes and still life. I am interested in anything with interesting light, color, and angle.
I believe art is dead without a story. Ideally, I want to make people feel as if they are 'there,' or inside the work, or that it creates a mood or atmosphere that is "tangible." If the viewer is momentarily transported to this place in front of them than I have succeeded..
I do accept commissions for landscapes and oversized art requirements. Please contact the studio directly to find out more. Click Contact.
I am also happy to show some of my private collection, including primitives, American folk art, Asian, western themes, originals, and more. Thee have been collected over the decades. Take a look, explore, and see what is available. If you like a particular painting or want to discuss a commissioned work, please contact me directly on the Contact page.
